Lakatos's 1947/8 Hungarian Doctoral Thesis: On the likely contents of Lakatos's 'lost' Hungarian doctoral thesis entitled Socio-historical aspects of concept formation in science, the Eotvos University webpage on this issue includes an English translation of Lakatos's 1947 Hungarian Ministry of Culture (Education) essay for science teachers 'Modern Physics, Modern Society', thought to be a major part and theme of the thesis. It offers a Lukacsian 'modern' philosophy of physics, including a critique of the metaphysical world views of the English physicists Jeans and Eddington, who claimed they were based on science, as in fact reflecting the alienation inherent in the capitalist mode of production rather than science, the fact that their metaphysics were not logically entailed by science having already been pointed out by the London University logician Susan Stebbing.
